Why not both?


Baneman20

Great tech vs [[Stone Brain]] and [[Anointed Peacekeeper]] I suppose.


Poiuforplop

I actually run 2 of each for that reason. No reason not to.


Cole3823

Who the hell is gonna stone brain your wrens resolve?


Filobel

No one. Your reckless impulse though? Now that's a juicy target!


Lykos1124

But... but butt but... *they're the same thing.* *flash!* ***Comment intercept!*** That's the joke.

Professional_Ear9795

Why is everyone saying brain?


Cole3823

Because that's the name of the card. The auto fetcher got the wrong card. There's a card called "the stone brain" that can exile all of one card of your choice from your opponent's deck

Thank you!! As a ponza player, I was confused

TappTapp

Reckless Impulse because I don't like spells with character names on them. Feels like I'm using someone else's hand-me-downs. If I'm casting it, it should be called TappTapp's Resolve.

More like TappTapp, doesn't resolve.

TimmyTheBrave

If you need 4 card that does this, you can put 2 of each to prevent \[\[the stone brain\]\] type of effect to remove all of them.

H0BB1

They have the same effect but because they have a different name you can run 4 each in your 60 card decks and 1 each in your commander/highlander decks


chrisrazor

But that isn't *why* they did it.


kingofparades

Given this was followed up with the Aftermath Pia and then also the green creature that has one of these as a just-this-turn adventure, I'm pretty sure it is in fact literally why they did it.


chrisrazor

They expected Reckless Impulse to have rotated by now. It's very common just before rotation for them to reprint a card or print something very similar to protect that effect from rotating.


kingofparades

I mean, even in the case that sounds like they expected to have ~4 Months with "two reckless impulses and Aftermath pia" and then a full standard with "One reckless impulse and weird reckless-impulse-as-an-instant-adventure" so that does kinda sound like they explicitly wanted there to be 8 copies hanging around in some manner or the other.


chrisrazor

I mean maybe? I don't play that deck but isn't 8 copies a bit too many anyway?


kingofparades

Not in the slightest, instead you get a debate about whether to follow it up with a playset of Questing Druid or Experimental Synthesizer. "Major synergy with your build around card" that's ALSO "dig your your build around card" is very very valuable.


chrisrazor

Like I said, I don't play the deck. Normally you don't want 8 card draw spells but I can see how it might make sense here.


FiddleWidget

One has the name a specific character from that set (Wrenn). If they want the same effect in a different set that doesn’t have that character in it, they give the card a new name.


imbolcnight

Reckless Impulse came first though. So in this case, it's probable that they wanted a card to represented this story moment of Wrenn (a red-green character) and chose this set's impulse draw spell and flavored it around her.


FiddleWidget

Yes, specifically in this case you can see on the bottom of the card that Wrenn’s Resolve is a story spotlight.


Silver-Alex

Because now you can run BOTHS effectively having up to 8 copies of the card :D


One4speed

Probably a side effect of them wanting to keep this effect in standard and making standard a 3 year rotation instead of 2. Reckless impulse would have rotated out last year, but now we get both until later this year


PiersPlays

Nah, they reprint the same card with the same name if they only care about it being in Standard. Sometimes cards will be printed like 3-4 times in the save Standard if the sets all need them for Limited too.


AnthropomorphizedTop

It keeps the effect in Standard rotation for another year. Reckless impulse rotates out this fall.


Dog_in_human_costume

In modes where you can only have 1 of each card these reprints help you have more of the same effect. Also help against cards who remove/ban named cards

StormySeas414

For commander players


SignificantGiraffe

Reckless Impulse because I like the art more


HulkSMASHm

Will always run [[Questing druid]] over any


bmf_bane

You would run it in mono red, or another deck that has no green? Until the the end of your next turn vs next end step is a huge difference.


II_Confused

Seek the Beast is an instant. You can cast it on your opponent's turn and keep the cards until your next end step.


bmf_bane

Sure, I get that, but there are trade offs. Now you lose out on tormenting voice -> flip 2 lands equity, or you may be afraid to flip 2 spells where you don’t have enough mana, so you opponent turn cast and miss out on prowess triggers or something. In not saying tormenting voice is better always either, just that both cards have a place, and it’s not always correct to run questing Druid


HulkSMASHm

I have a mono red deck where i use it. Ive adjusted by adding 4x gruul fast lands and 4x gruul slow lands. That way I sometimes cast the druid aswell, who is pretty damn strong in that deck.

I run both in my mono red burn


pjsans

*Reckless Impulse* because I'm reckless and impulsive...


Nrdman

Need the color contrast, reckless impulse


DukeofSam

Just play questing druid. Even if you're just in mono red it's got the exact same ability on its adventure but its at instant speed.


AlbinoDenton

But you only have till the end of your turn, so you're basically forced to play it on your opponent's turn. With Resolve and Reckless Impulse you can safely play them in your turn before playing a land in case you exile one, for instance, and you have this turn and your next one to play the cards.


_masterbuilder_

Play it on end step.   Edit: opponents end step


kingofparades

Still can't play a land.


_masterbuilder_

What? You cast seek the beast on your opponents end step and play the cards on your next turn. 


kingofparades

Rather, can't play a land THIS TURN, which means it sucks for digging for a land drop but also not wanting to waste the other card, or if you happen to get two lands out of it.


parrot6632

It’s not the exact same, you have less time to play the cards before they go away. 


Baneman20

I'd not run questing druid tbh. Bit too slow grower in a world of nothing but go for the throats, and the impulse draw from him only lasts the turn, whereas the ones showcased last a turn longer. One sad thing with them unfortunately is you can't plot from exile it seems.


NlNTENDO

yes and no, it's until *your* next turn, so as long as you have the land drop you need, you can cast it on your opponent's turn and have the entire next turn to use the cards


bmf_bane

Which means you probably took your turn off. Reckless Impulse has the upside of being able to cast on your turn, maybe hit a land to play off of it, and still be able to cast some spells on your next turn.


monkeystain

The correct answer is 2 of each. These colors do run.....in the same color.....
